The Swan, Walton on Thames

I DON'T KNOW IF I AM ADVISING YOU OF SOETHING YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE OF, BUT WHEN I VISITED YOUR WEB-SITE I COULDN'T FIND ANY REFERENCE TO A CERTAIN FACT WHICH I THINK WOULD BE BENEFICIAL AS A POTENTIAL DRAW TO YOUR PREMISES. IN 1910 YOUR PUB WAS FREQUENTED BY THE WORLD FAMOUS U.S. COMPOSER JEROME KERN. IN FACT THE THEN PROPRIETER'S DAUGHTER (EVA LEALE) WAS SERVING BEHIND THE BAR AT THE TIME & IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. THEY WERE MARRIED OCTOBER 25TH.1910 AT ST.MARY'S CHURCH WALTON.SUCH A WORLD RENOWNED PERSONAGE AS MR KERN WOULD CERTAINLY BE DESERVING OF A WALL-PLAQUE OR AT LEAST SOME RECORD OF HIS PATRONAGE. HE WROTE OVER 700 POULAR SONGS, MOSTLY FOR MUSICALS SUCH AS SHOWBOAT & IS REGARDED IN THE SAME VEIN AS IRVING BERLIN & RICHARD ROGERS. I HOPE THIS IS OF INTEREST TO YOU.
